the music
was too big
for you
it was too big
for all of them
it was a spirit
a life
inside of you
that grew
sparked
started a fire
that no one --
least of all
you
could contain
or control
it burned
you up
engulfed you
empowered you
while also
taking everything
you had
it was a storm
that hit
all those who listened
eliciting
power
that couldn't be
expressed
subtly
or safely
they responded
with
worship
or vehement hate
there was no
middle ground
it was all
so beyond
normal human
capacity
and order
and it was beautiful
unearthly
devastating
inspiring
while
it gave life
and joy
that beats on
even now
never waning
in its lifeblood
it ate you up
till there was
nothing for you
you gave it all
let your gift
be given
to us
though it cost you
everything
i wonder
if you ever had
a choice
but still i
pray
that now
you are free
forever
to feel
the never-ending
ecstasy
of the song
within you.
